Gemelli With Red Cabbage Beet And Prosciutto Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt and beet. Cook pasta 2 minutes less than instructed on package (beet should be knife-tender). Drain; when beet is cool enough to handle, chop into small pieces.
• Place prosciutto in a large saute pan over medium-high; cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Swirl oil into pan and add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cabbage and cook until slightly tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in beet. Increase heat to high, pour in wine, and cook, stirring frequently, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
• Add pasta and toss to combine. Add prosciutto and season with salt. Serve immediately, with cheese.

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the hard core and shred.
• Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan, add the onion and fry over a low heat until it begins to soften; add the cabbage, beetroot and all remaining ingredients, seasoning to taste.
• Cover the pan tightly and keeping an eye on the liquid (there should be enough at all times to prevent sticking, but no excess at the end of cooking) cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 ½ - 2 hours, until soft and reduced in bulk; adjust seasoning if required.
• NOTE: This can also be made in advance and reheated; it can also be cooked in a casserole dish in a low oven.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until tender and just beginning to color, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and cabbage and cook until cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally and adding water by tablespoonfuls if cabbage sticks, about 10 minutes. Mix in prosciutto. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Working in batches, coarsely grate cabbage and beets in food processor fitted with grating blade. Set aside.
• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until brown, about 15 minutes. Mix in cabbage and beets. Add 1/2 cup water and vinegar. Cover; simmer until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally and adding water by tablespoonfuls if mixture is dry, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl; top with parsley.
